EFIFI VALLEY
Lorna Doone was one of my favourite books as a child, how romantic was that legendary, if scary, Doone Valley ?
Bulawayo has its own Doone Valleys too - the glorious, magical Lumene Valley in the Esigodini Hills where the river meanders tirelessly through the valley floor and the waterfall cascades down one richly wooded precipice.
And then there is the Efifi Valley in the Matopos with its own Pride Rock.
This is quite our favourite picnic spot, one can actually drive onto this massive grey-green, granite, igneous extrusion, establish one's picnic, and it is even safe to light a fire as there is no undergrowth within many metres the rock is so vast.
Completely surrounding Pride Rock are giant granitic formations, covered in moss and lichen, and glowing with iridescent greens, yellows and ochres. The "Ama Tobo" Mzilikazi called it, the glorious Matopos Kopjes, one can almost see the Impi standing on the crest of the hill silhouetted against the crimson sunset.
Over there are vast fields of the everlasting plant, now green and lush with the recent heavy rains, but so often grey and silver when the hills are dry and thirsty.
Over there a troop of baboons waiting respectfully until we leave although they will not find much left behind by our party. "Take nothing but photographs and leave nothing but your footprints" is the unbroken,sacrosanct Matobo law.
Over there is a plush, grassy knoll with distinct signs that a herd of buck spends the nights there under the vast starry skies. The grassy tufts are so thick and dense that one could pitch one's own tent and not even need a mattress.
During the wet season, water flows down the rocks, erupting from the fissures between the exfoliated layers, and when the kids were young, they would slide down the waterways on cooler box lids or on trays.
At the base of the waterways can be found magical pools where frogs and scorpions wage a deadly fight for dominance of the area !!
The fit amongst us ride our bikes to the Matopos, others drive the bakes with the picnic fare. Rock climbing is in-bred in Matabeles and once exhausted, we settle down to borevors rolls, cooked on the skittle with Dave's famous onion and garlic relish. A pilsener or a glass of wine, and as the sun goes down and the sky darkens,it is star and moon watching time.
The stars are incredible, no ambient light anywhere, and one can only hear the uttering of the birds as they settle down for the night, and the faint hum of the jets as they ply their way from Cape to Cairo.
There are more stars in the Matopos of course than anywhere else in the world, we Matabeles are convinced of that ! There is Orion, "oh look" here comes the Southern Cross which rises much later, and then over the giant monolith rises the brilliant moon, quite the most breathtaking and exquisite picture, awe inspiring and incredible.
Scuffle scuffle, a shy civet cat prowls the perimeter of the camp fire looking for scraps. The Matopos has the densest population of leopard they tell me, although they are very hard to spot.Dassies dodge into rocky crevasses to sleep, the baboons have chosen the tallest tree they can find, and all's right with the world once again.
Conversation is unnecessary, nature does all the talking, as we drink in all the beauty that Zimbabwe has to offer people who love nature, quiet and good companions.
"You never enjoy the world, aright, till the Sea itself floweth in your veins, till you are clothed with the heavens, and crowned with the stars; and perceive yourself to be the sole heir of the whole world, and more than so, because men are in it who are every one, sole heirs as well as you."

THE Art Of Living - a Transformational Workshop
'EXISTENCE IS A FACT- LIVING IS AN ART'
Everyone wants greater success, better health and peace of mind. What
keeps us from achieving these qualities in our life is stress. The degree
to which stress unduly influences our lives is generally underestimated.
Often the mind clings to anger, guilt and regrets about the past, or
anxiety about the future. This oscillation of the mind is the determining
factor for stress and tension both for ourselves and for the people around
us.
To be able to deal with our mind and negative emotions is an art; The
Art Of Living.
' It is every human being's birthright to have a disease free body
and a stress free mind. Yet neither at school nor at home have we been
taught how to deal with our negative emotions'. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
The Art of Living Course is offered worldwide and enjoyed by people from
all backgrounds and traditions. Course Features:
Practical knowledge to deal with the daily challenges of life.
Guided interactive processes.
Low Impact Yoga, stretching and relaxation exercises.
Meditation and simple, yet powerful breathing techniques

TIMES : 6.30 pm to 9.30pm

3) ROSES AND RASPBERRIES
We would like to send a very large multi-colored bunch of roses in fact bushes of roses to the fire brigade crew and their ambulance crew, as well as all the people who rushed to the accident to help, especially the man who gave me his shirt off his back! On Saturday 5th December 2009, there was an accident near the infamous Trade Fair intersection, with one person thrown out the back of the truck and another person trapped in the truck. As we came upon the accident, our instincts to help our fellow man, kicked in and we were out the car to try and help. Within seconds of our arrival on the scene, people came forward with their cell phones offering to call families of the victims. Both the men had head injuries, and realizing that we to stop the bleeding a man took his shirt off his back and gave it to us! The Fire Brigade was there instantly, when they arrived at the scene, they split up so as to attend to both victims and as a team we assisted with the patients. Some of the crew immediately attended to the vehicle which appeared to be about to burst into flame thus averting yet another tragedy. No sooner had this been done than the ambulance crew was at our sides. We neck braced the first victim and and safely secured him in the ambulance. The second young man, had hurt his back and needed to be placed on the back board, so as a team we neck braced him and placed him on the back board. The crews from both the fire brigade and the ambulance were extremely compassionate and courteous. They treated both accident victims with so much human respect. Once both the men were in the ambulance, the fire brigade started cleaning up the accident scene. When we were heading back to our vehicle to leave the scene, the man who gave up his shirt walked up to us and asked to shake our hands. He thanked us on behalf of the victim's fellowmen for being a concerned person who took the time to stop and assist.
This accident renewed our faith in mankind as WE as Zimbabweans, not individuals, showed that we care about our fellowman and will stand side by side to help in a crisis situation irrespective of race, color or creed. This is what makes this country of ours so unique and such a great place to call HOME. To those out there who found it necessary to criticise we can only say "shame!!!! We feel sorry for you as you obviously do not understand the meaning of being there for your fellowman and being a true Zimbabwean". Next time you see some one in need of help, take a moment to think of this........What if it was you? What if it was you lying in a pool of blood and needed immediate help, you are scared and you do not know what happened, would you want someone with kinds words and a gentle touch to help you or some one to step over you and walk away?

TO MY DEAR FRIEND MARGIE WILSON
Dearest Margie
Who could forget those days
when we were Whitestone and Girls' College parents.
Our daughters were spunky, bright and curious about life,
And we were the "A" team !!
We did so many fun and crazy things together
for and with our Girls,
and in the doing,
we became very special friends.
Time and daughters move on,
Suddenly time is of an essence and on the odd occasion
when we come across one another
It is a joyous moment,
because we had such a precious bond.
We always say
"We must meet more often"
But we seldom do
We just know
that we are there for each other
If and when the time arises.
Much love and thank you for those happy memories.
Happy Birthday
you are an amazing woman Margie .......

BULAWAYO PUBLICITY ASSOCIATION
DECEMBER 2009 NEWSLETTER
Motorists will be pleased to know that the Public Relations Officer at the Gwanda ZRP Station has informed the Association that the work on the deviation of 20 kms between Beitbridge and West Nicholson should be completed in December. A police post has also been established at the portion of the road to maintain security.
Angel's Restaurant has had a complete facelift and been renamed Indaba Book Cafe. It is a most attractive colourful eatery where the latest books and magazines are also sold.
Hillside Dams tea room will be open for the whole day on Christmas Day and will be serving a Christmas lunch. Bon Journee, apart from meals, also serves delicious cakes and coffee.
Luxury coaches which ply between Bulawayo and Harare are City Link and Pathfinder which pick up passengers in Bulawayo at Bulawayo Rainbow Hotel and Holiday Inn Bulawayo respectively. Early booking is advisable as they are very popular.
Roses galore in arrangements or bouquets are available at reasonable prices from the flower vendors in Robert Mugabe way opposite the Revenue Hall complex.
The City Council parks department is busy sprucing up Centenary and Central parks and have started planting lawn. It is hope that the Engineering Department will be able to fix the pipes so they can continue to water the lawns when the rains stop.
The Bulawayo Performing Arts based at the Zimbabwe Academy of Music, has a full programme of concerts and DVDs in December which include 'Singing in the Rain' the Nutcracker Suite and Hansel and Gretel, all DVDs.
The newly appointed British Ambassador Mr Mark Canning, who comes to us from Burma, informed the Association that he has sampled some of Bulawayo's tourist delights and was very impressed.
Visitors from Spain, UK, USE and The Netherlands who called at our offices for information during the past 6 weeks, commented that Bulawayo was 'the best great city, great people; I love Bulawayo'
The Bulawayo Publicity Association would like to wish all their members a very happy Christmas - and rays of light shining through the clouds in 2010.
We thank you all for your support over the years, which we value.

New Novel Reveals Dark Secrets and Thrilling Exploits
EX BULAWAYO - In his thrilling new novel 'Tribe of Shadows: The Hunted,' author David Fergusson explores the darkness of the lost soul and reveals the compassion and patience needed to draw it out of the shadows.
Published by Tate Publishing and Enterprises, the book tells the story of William Hunt, who receives a cryptic message in London at the same moment his twin brother, Ross, is running for his life through the bush of Sub-Saharan Africa. The author unveils the plight of the Hunt brothers, whose destiny, and that of an entire community, lies in their ability to outsmart General Merjuta-'the priest of the dead'-a man who is both a national and spiritual leader of a nation deeply rooted in ancestral worship.
With the unveiling of a powerful secret, the fate of friends and family members is set in motion as they are hunted across two continents by mercenaries who will stop at nothing short of genocide to protect their interest.
The book can be ordered through the publisher at www.tatepublishing.com/bookstore or by visiting barnesandnoble.com, amazon.com or target.com. ISBN #978-1-607990611

Don Broadley and I are still researching Frogs and Toads, or rather I am, and Don is actually just overseeing what I do. I would like to remind the good people of Bulawayo that the rains, and thunder arrived on the afternoon of the 10th November, and the Frogs and Toads were out the whole night. Could people please keep me informed about Giant Bullfrogs, they still seem to be lost! I am doing a study on tadpoles, and would like to be informed of tadpole populations wherever they may be. I am only too willing to come and look at them.
Thanks,
Rob Hopkins.

PROPERTIES FOR SALE:
AUSTRALIA - Property Prices Set to Soar
Property prices across Australia have jumped almost 6 percent this year and
will continue to rise even in the country's most expensive suburbs, experts
have said. The average Australian home has gained $28,194 in value since
January this year and is now worth almost half a million dollars at
$477,865, according to the RP Data-Rismark Home Value Index.
The Market is Heating Up - This is the Time to Invest
We had an excellent response to our last ad in the Morning Mirror, with a
number of property investors wanting to invest in property in Australia. We
are currently working with these investors from southern Africa on Joint
Venture Projects whereby they put a deposit into one of our residential
developments & we offer 20% returns on the amount invested. At the end of
the development phase, the investor owns the property outright. Since the
recession, banks have tightened up on lending making opening up new tracts
of residential land difficult for developers. As a result, Wealth
Acceleration Group began looking at additional ways to fund our projects.
We believe that this Joint Venture Project offers investors an excellent
strategy to get into property in Australia.
We intend making a trip to South Africa to meet with investors in JHB/DBN/CT
to discuss all the details of the JV. Alternatively, investors are welcome
to come to Australia, meet with us & look at the projects for themselves.

LOW COST INTERNATIONAL PHONE CALLS
ZIMGLOBAL offers cheaper, hassle free international dialing using VOIP 'dial back' technology from your current LAND LINE telephone number.
For example, you would pay:
15c per min to UK and USA; (24c per min from T-One and 48c per min from Zim cell phones)
16c per min to Australia and most European countries;
17c per min to New Zealand and Cyprus;
18c per min to China, India and Greece;
20c per min to RSA (27c per min from T-One and 32c per min from Zim cell phones)
*calls to international land lines; international mobile rates available on our website*
(Please view website for more rates and comparisons)
This equates to an average of between 26%-50% saving on what you would pay using normal telcom. services in Zimbabwe.
Dialing international mobile phones is also effortless and cheaper with ZimGlobal.
Some of our features include:
NO new equipment is required
NO join up or monthly fees
Pre-paid account (works much like a 'pay as you' go cell phone.
6 second billing
Itemised on line billing
24hr access to your account call log on line
What you pay for is what you get to spend on 'talk time'.
e.g. for only $10 you get approximately 70 minutes talk time to land line phones in the USA and UK; 60 minutes 'talk time' to Australia and most of Europe!
In addition, our service helps to by-pass the usually congested lines out of Zimbabwe and the lines are stable and clear. No more straining of your dialing finger to get an outside line and no more 'dropped' calls!
For your convenience you can open an account for as little or as much as you like....$10 is however the minimum. We are primarily located in Harare but have a number of Bulawayo clients on our books.
If it all sounds 'too good to be true' ...

YOUR GARDEN IN DECEMBER
Watering
During December, temperatures are generally high and so the emphasis of your gardening should be on helping your plants to survive the hot, dry periods. To conserve moisture, water deeply and less frequently, and use a coarse mulch to reduce evaporation.
If the weather is particularly dry, pay special attention to plants that require regular watering like camellias and azaleas which benefit from having their foliage sprayed with water. It is good water-wise practice to position plants that require the same degree of watering in the same area, as, by doing this, you will conserve water, as only this area will require higher -frequency watering.
During periods of rainy weather, remember to water shrubs and climbers planted under eaves where the rain doesn't reach.
In hot dry weather, use a hose on foliage on shrubs to remove dust, dislodge aphids and discourage red spider mite which thrives in hot dry conditions. Remember to include the underside of the leaves.
Weeds & Pests
With the beginning of the rainy season, the insect population explodes!
- - Control slugs and snails by sprinkling commercial snail bait, or sink a shallow container like a large tin lid into the earth at ground level and fill it with equal parts milk and water, or beer and/or mealie meal, with a lettuce or cabbage leaf to attract snails and slugs. Empty every few days. Snails can also be hand-picked at night, when they emerge to feed. Crushed eggshells or sawdust work well too as slugs and snails do not cross them.
- - Check all bulbs regularly for signs of bulb caterpillar (amaryllis borer) attack. These yellow and black striped worms attack the leaves and then make their way down into the centre and destroy the bulb. Clivias and amaryllis are especially prone to attack. They can be protected by spraying or dusting the plants with insecticide, or by dusting with ash.
- - Keep a look out for lawn caterpillar. These dark green, sometimes brownish caterpillars can rapidly devastate a lawn. They feed at night and hide just above ground under the grass during the day. Controlling them whilst the swarms are small reduces the chances of larger secondary or even tertiary infestation.
- - Weeds will also be germinating quickly with the heat and the rainfall. Keep them under control by applying thick mulches of leaf mold, dry cut grass or straw to flowerbeds, to deny the weeds seeds the light they need to germinate. Don't cover your flower seeds, though! Young weeds before they flower are an excellent addition to your compost heap.
- - Weeds in lawns can be controlled with broad-leaved herbicides, but do pay very careful attention to the directions for use!
- - Remember, 'One year's seeding is seven year's weeding.' Older weeds with seed heads may need to be burned separately to remove the threat of future weed growth.
Garden Care
- - Be very aware of the heat whilst gardening this month, and work in the morning or afternoon, remembering to wear a hat and sun-block.
- - Feed annuals and flowering perennials with a fertilizer high in potassium to promote further flowering, and remember to keep dead-heading to prolong the growth of flowers.
- - This is an excellent time to analyse your garden and determine how well your plants are performing, and deciding where changes can be made during the cooler months.
- - Check out the shady parts of your garden. Now that all the trees are in full leaf, your lawn may well be struggling to survive in areas of heavy shade, so why not turn areas like this into shade-loving plant beds? If the shade is particularly dense, you may need to cut some lower branches to thin the canopy and allow more light to penetrate. As the plants will have to compete with tree roots for nutrients and moisture, enrich the soil with compost and fertilizer before planting.
- Top dressing for lawns is not necessary unless the lawn is very uneven and needs leveling and in this case add a few millimeters at a time and wait for the lawn to grow through before adding more. Fertilizing your lawn before a rain shower is all the attention the lawn needs now and of course regular mowing.
Herbs & Vegetables
- Plant a few lettuce seedlings at a time, and harvest when the leaves are 5-6cm long and are sweet and succulent. If the soil is kept moist and the lettuce harvested early, they won't bolt or have a bitter taste.
- - Nasturtiums, whilst commonly grown in the flower garden, can also be grown for use in salads, with both flowers and leaves adding a pleasant tang. If grown in the vegetable garden, nasturtiums will act as trap crops, and many of the pests that would eat the greens, will instead eat the nasturtium leaves.
- - Now is a good time to get annual herbs planted. Choose from basil, parsley, dill and coriander.
- - Grow Mediterranean herbs like thyme, sage, lavender and rosemary in pots, so you can control their water needs, as they need less water than herbs like parsley and basil. Most herbs need a sunny position and well-drained soil.
What To Sow And Plant
Flowers - Alyssum, begonia, dianthus (carnation), marigold, nasturtium, penstemon, sunflowers, vinca and zinnia
Vegetables - bush & climbing beans, beetroot, carrots, courgettes, cucumber, eggplants, lettuce, melon, radish, squash, Swiss chard and tomatoes.
